Vastra struggled, the cold winter night draining the energy from her very core.
"Have I left it too late? Am I going to die? No I can't." Vastra's thoughts were the only thing keeping her focused.
The light snow only hindered her desperate attempt to get home. Entering the street of Paternoster Row, Vastra weighed the thought of running home through her mind. "If I stay at this pace I won't make it home but if I run I could use up all of my energy." The situation was desperate. If she were to fall unconscious on the street she would surely die from the exposure to the cold. The Silurian made her choice. The dash to her home seemed to take forever; every footstep was painful as her muscles struggled to work. Vastra's vision started to fade and the world around her became a dark blur. She had only one thought: "Get to that door."
The blackness closed in around her, she slipped on piece of black ice and slammed into her door. The door shook, almost breaking off its metal hinges. Her conscious thoughts were fading and with her last coherent breath she yelled the name of the only person who could save her. "Jenny!"
Jenny was pacing around the warm interior of the kitchen trying to keep herself busy. Vastra was late, later than normal. Jenny busied herself by re-wiping surfaces she had previously cleaned an hour ago. To be honest the house was spotless; nothing out of place, nothing out of order.
Jenny sighed, it was past midnight and the harsh cold had set in hours ago.
"W'ere is she?" Her cockney accent detailing her frustration. She paced into the lounge room gazing outside through the glass pane window. Her eyes focused on the sky with the snow falling, painted against the black sky. Jenny turned, still frustrated with Vastra's negligence. "She knows not to be out this late." Once more muttering to herself.
The fire sputtered gaining Jenny's attention. The dim red flames glowed signaling that they needed to be stoked. Jenny was on her way to grab another piece of wood when suddenly there was a crash at the door. Jenny ducked instinctively but pivoted around to face the door. But she stopped frozen by what she heard next.
"Jenny!"
A/N - Thank you for those that have read this far. I wanted to try something different and so I decided to experiment with Vastra/Jenny. Sorry if it seemed a little OoC, it is my first attempt at a story with them. Feel free to leave me comments, especially if it is constructive criticism. :)
